"'Unless I have
hallucinated, I have never made an anti-gay commentary,' she said. 'I have made
anti-gay-activist-agenda commentaries.'"

Laura quoted by the
San Francisco Examiner, February 24, 2000

"I'm sorry, hear
it one more time perfectly clearly: If you're gay or a lesbian, it's a biological error
that inhibits you from relating normally to the opposite sex. The fact that you are
intelligent, creative and valuable is all true. The error is in your inability to relate
sexually intimately, in a loving way to a member of the opposite sex ­ it is a biological
error."

Laura's Website, December 8, 1998

''[Responding to a
fax, Schlessinger says:] "It goes on and says 'Pedophilia and child molestation have
zero to do with being gay, homosexual orientation' and thats not true. That is not
true. How many letters have I read on the air from gay men who acknowledge that a huge
portion of the male homosexual populus is predatory on young boys."

Laura radio show, August 13, 1999 (quoted by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC)).

"The well-funded and well-connected homosexual activist movement has become the McCarthyism of the 21st century."

"When we have the
word homosexual, we are clarifying the dysfunction, the deviancy, the reality. We change
it to the word gay, it makes it more difficult to pinpoint the truth. So one of the things
that the homosexual agenda did was to change the name. Just like somebody complained to me
yesterday about ethnic cleansing, that it sounds like washing machine as opposed to
murder. They were right. Ethnic cleansing sounds nice. Murder is the truth, homosexuality
is the truth. Gay isnt."

- Dr.
Laura's radio show, August 13, 1999 (quoted by CBSC)..

"I call
homosexual practices deviant".

- Dr.
Laura quoted by the New York Post, 2/16/00

"The gay culture?
Im trying to understand, what is that? I remember the 70s and 80s that the line was
that this is only about sex, its not about anything else, right? So whats the
gay culture? Is that where we get into the promiscuity and the paedophilia? Or are these
just regulation human beings, who somehow have an error in their sexual orientation but
otherwise are seriously regulation human beings? Im confused. First Im told
for 20 years that its only about sex. Now Im told its a whole culture.
So whats in the culture? What is it? If its just about sex, then the culture
must only be about sex. Otherwise youre American culture. But listen to this. 'They
presented a slide show, Friday, during the schools popular culture assembly which
also features dances from Polynesian, African and Latin countries.' Thats
culture. Sexual deviations are not culture. Theyre sexual deviations."

- Dr.
Laura radio show, April 16, 1999 (quoted by CBSC).

"Well, according to Dr. Aarden VanWeg
[ph.], an expert in homosexuality and other forms of deviant sexual behavior in Holland,
that although numerically there are more paedophiles that are heterosexual, percentage
wise in a population, it is much greater in the homosexual community. So there is some
relationship. No, not every homosexual is a paedophile. Obviously not. But it is a greater
percentage, much greater."

- Dr.
Laura radio show, June 10, 1999 (quoted by CBSC).

[Explaining the use
of the term 'gay'.] "One of the first things you do
is rename behaviors or what have you. Once you rename it... Its like in Vietnam, I
remember quite clearly. Instead of calling them North Vietnamese, South Vietnamese,
Communist or what have you, they started calling the Vietnamese agents gooks. One of the
reasons you call them gooks is because its easy to kill a gook, harder to
kill a person. So in changing the name of the thing, it changes how we perceive it
and how we can behave toward it. When we have the word homosexual, we are clarifying the
dysfunction, the deviancy, the reality."

- Dr.
Laura radio show, August 13, 1999 (quoted by CBSC).

"Please, this is
not about civil rights cause I would be the first one in the front of that line and
Im here to tell you that right now. Id be the first one in the front of that
line. But this is about taking a deviant behaviour, a dysfunctional behaviour,
normalizing, sexualizing our kids."

- Dr.
Laura radio show, August 13, 1999 (quoted by CBSC).

"I have never
called homosexuals biological mistakes. I have said the sexual orientation is clearly an
error. With penises and vaginas we were meant for heterosexual sexual acting out in order
to procreate the species. I mean that is just irrefutable. But she is outright lying by
distortion. There are different ways to lie. This one is by distortion and
misrepresentation. I have never called homosexuals errors. I have called the sexuality an
error. ... I want you to know that Joan Garry completely misrepresented my presentation. I
have never called a people an error. I have called the sexuality, orientation, an error.
And I think that is irrefutable and obvious. Its dysfunctional, its deviant.
According to religion it is not moral. But biologically it is clearly an error."

- Dr.
Laura radio show, August 24, 1999 (quoted by CBSC).

"The debate over gay rights. Rights.
Rights? For sexual deviancy, sexual behavior, there are now rights. That's what I am
worried about with the pedophilia, the bestiality and the sado-masochism. Is this all
going to be rights too? To deviant sexual behavior. It is deviant sexual behavior. Why
does deviant sexual behavior get rights? I don't understand that..."

- Dr. Laura radio show, June 10, 1999 (quoted by CBSC).

"You
know what was largely responsible for that guys [Matthew Shepard's] death? Those two
guys who killed him did not go out looking for a homosexual to kill that night. They were
shooting pool. He went to the bar. He left with two guys he thought he was gonna have sex
with. He got murdered. How many women has that happened to? How many women have left bars
thinking they were gonna get some action with some guy who raped and murdered and tortured
and murdered them? Far more women than homosexual men have ended up dead that way, I would
guess. Is that a hate crime against women? I think so but they specifically picked the
woman who was willing to leave for sex. If Matthew hadnt been willing to leave for
sex, he might still be alive. That certainly doesnt make him responsible for his own
death but when you put yourself into a situation of going off to have anonymous sex with
people you meet at a bar, what kind of person is gonna leave with you? Usually scum....
This was a terrible tragedy but its also one that might have been avoided if he had
simply gone home with his friends instead of thinking he was gonna get a little."

- Dr. Laura radio show, April 16, 1999 (quoted by CBSC).

"the
ultra-conservative advice dispenser went on to report the results of her fax poll
regarding controversial marriages. 'I asked for only those supporting legal gay marriages
to respond to the question of whether it's OK for adult male and female siblings to
marry,' Schlessinger said. 'Except for one fax, they all said yes,' she reported with
disgust."

Laura quoted by the New York Post, 2/16/00

"Dr. Laura
doesn't merely disdain gays. To her, gays are 'deviants,' products of 'a biological
disorder' who can and should get themselves cured through 'reparative therapy.' "

"Her [Dr.
Laura's] perorations strongly suggest that many gays are predators, eager to convert new
members to the faith. She urges parents to avoid bringing kids into the company of
possibly gay relatives."

"The
self-appointed moral revolutionaries will reject the clear teachings of Scripture in order
to justify sexual perversion and destructive behaviors and claim a religious
mandate!" Dr. Laura quoting someone else - she then responds "Amen."

"she calls gays
'deviants,' products of 'a biological disorder' and suggests gays can and should get
themselves 'cured' through 'reparative therapy.' She tells her listeners that gays are
often predators. She insists gays should not be allowed to marry or have children, and
says parents should not allow their kids to be in the company of possibly gay
relatives."
